Plane attitude details

[whatnot]

Hi,

I'm playing around with some motion simulation toys and was wondering if CoD has any way of reading the plane's attitude data (pitch, roll & heading)? I'm aware thath there is no proper sdk out yet, but are you aware of any ways of accomplishing this? Any hack would do as long as it is accurate enough and refreshes frequently enough.

Thanks!

something like these perhaps?



Are you looking for a constant digital readout?
It might be possible to make some 3rd party app that reads the instruments and digitises the readout.. but unless you want to collect data for post-hoc flight analysis, I can't see why the instruments already provided are not sufficient....

Something like that indeed, but what I'd do is control a motion platform with that data read about the plane's attitude. Hence I need to read it several times per second.

The problem with reading the instruments as I see it is that when flying with 3d pit and looking around the instruments won't be visible and in identical agle all the time. Is there a way around that?

Thanks!

you are not the only one wanting this feature to be properly done.

Ut is possible , in theory, to write a script to output data- there are parameters available- just writing the code to output data in a format that is understandable to external devices is 'not simple' (to me at least )
see for instance

IL2 used a Devicelink protocol using UDP

Perfect, i followed your link and a chain after it and found that Z_Orientation is what I'm looking for. Do you know if there is actually a manual of this stuff or some more formal reference than just forum posts?

If I've understood correctly From postsmlike frog's in http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.ph...3347984/4.html I would need to do a custom mission for this?

As A hack I wonder if I could just copy same C# file that outputs data to all folders in missions directory. For example by creating a script that fooks for every .mis file (custom and original) and just create .cs file with same name?

Sry, cant test it myself as I dont have pc atm

I'm away for a few days- so this is a bit brief.

manual- no

custom mission- really all you need is a C# script for each mission.
adding the code needed to a mission that already has a script might be a little trickier probably needs to be done manually- but then i' m not a coding expert by any means
